Maybe if she was using the wrench to open a keg it would look more dwarfy.

I'd put you on ignore for that comment, if I could...Alpharius 2/11/14

Eh, I think the problem is she just kinda looks like a short human woman. Hands and feet are a bit chunky, sure, but to an eyeball used to miniatures that are heroic scaled to one extent or another that's not enough to make her seem like a different species.

Don't get me wrong it's a fantastic quality sculpt, but for me if you want it to read as a Dwarf I'd say bump the hands & feet up even further in size, make her legs at least 1/3 shorter again, and make her a bit wider/thicker-limbed generally.

"Your society's broken, so who should we blame? Should we blame the rich, powerful people who caused it? No, lets blame the people with no power and no money and those immigrants who don't even have the vote. Yea, it must be their fething fault." - Iain M Banks

"The language of modern British politics is meant to sound benign. But words do not mean what they seem to mean. 'Reform' actually means 'cut' or 'end'. 'Flexibility' really means 'exploit'. 'Prudence' really means 'don't invest'. And 'efficient'? That means whatever you want it to mean, usually 'cut'. All really mean 'keep wages low for the masses, taxes low for the rich, profits high for the corporations, and accept the decline in public services and amenities this will cause'." - Robin McAlpine from Common Weal

I like her. I'm not a big dwarf fan as I dislike most of their tropes and depictions in a lot of games so maybe my view here isn't that important. I like how your setting is not trying to just be stereotypes of the Fantasy Genre.
